Chapter 63 Telling the Truth
Tao Qian's words made Li's heart skip a beat. She never thought that Tao Qian would know about her younger brother's trickery.

No matter what, Tao Qian couldn't let Tao Qian know that he helped his younger brother pay back the gambling money. After calming down, Li wanted to deny it.

However, what Li Shi said was: "Mother, I did help my brother pay back some gambling money. How do you know that my brother is playing with money? Who told you!"

Well, sure enough, this prodigal woman gave money to her natal family. When Tao Qian thought about it, she knew that the money must have been given to Li by Tao Zhili. Holding a copper coin in his hand: "You prodigal, how much money does our old Tao family have to give you, and you actually go to subsidize your mother's family, that's all, and help your gambling brother to plug the money hole, Why did our old Tao family marry a woman like you? You are trying to drag down my old Tao family, you black-hearted bitch."

As he said that, Tao Qian wanted to hit Li.

Li Shi was so scared that she hurriedly dodged, if she was beaten by her mother-in-law in front of so many people, how could she have the face to face others?

At the same time, Mrs. Li also wondered, why did she tell the truth?
"Do you still dare to hide?" Tao Qian said angrily when he didn't hit Li Shi all at once.

Tao Changtian saw the unkind faces of those officials, and hurriedly scolded Tao Erde: "You just let your mother-in-law mess around like this?"

Tao Erde hurriedly scolded Tao Qian: "If there is anything you can't talk about at home, you have to mess around here, so hurry up and calm down."

Tao Qian was used to scolding Li on weekdays, and in addition to being stunned by Li's words just now, he wanted to beat and scold Li regardless of the occasion. After being scolded by Tao Erde, he immediately reacted, ruthlessly He gave Li Shi a look to make you look good when he went back, and hurriedly stood behind Tao Erde.

Mrs. Li's heart skipped a beat when she was stared at by Mrs. Tao Qian. Before she could recover, she heard an official on the side ask, "Are you Mrs. Li?"

"It's... Your Excellency." Seeing the officer staring at her, Li Shi panicked and stammered, "Little... little lady is... Li Shi."

"You have a brother named Li Gao?" the leading officer continued to ask.

Mrs. Li nodded: "Return...Return to your lord, that's right."

Being interrogated by officials in front of so many people, Li Shi only felt that his hands and feet were trembling, but for some reason, he felt uncomfortable.

"I heard that Li Gao was playing with money, and he came to see you the day before yesterday. Please tell me everything about the situation."

"Yes." Mrs. Li nodded, and spoke more smoothly: "My brother Li Gao has always liked to play with money. My father has beaten him many times but he still can't get it back. Later, if he loses money, he will come to me. Because every time it is only a dozen or twenty renminbi, I just gave it. However, my brother came to me the day before yesterday to ask for money, but he asked for five liang all at once, saying that he was unlucky and lost a lot. I didn't have so much money in hand, so I sent him back."

"Lost by five taels?" The leading official squinted his eyes and looked at Mrs. Li: "Then does she know about your sister-in-law's selling ginseng for money?"

"He doesn't know, but he knows that my second brother's family is going to build a big house, and he knows that he bought a homestead of [-]% of an acre." Mrs. Li said honestly.

After hearing Li Shi's words, the three officials looked at each other seriously, and said to Tao Changtian, "This Li Gao is very suspicious. We are going to Li's Village to arrest him and interrogate him. Li Shi, please don't let her leave the village. .”

Tao Changtian hurriedly replied: "Okay, okay, it will be done, you adults can rest assured."

Hearing that Li Gao was going to be arrested, Mrs. Li seemed to come to her senses suddenly, and she didn't care about being afraid, and hurried forward to grab the arm of the official: "My lord, what crime did my brother commit, why should he be arrested?" , he is still young, so don't scare him."

The leading officer had a serious expression on his face: "The officer handles the case. There is no room for you to speak up. If you dare to stop him, you will be arrested along with him, and you will be sentenced as an accomplice."

Li Shi was so frightened that she let go of her hand, but she was not reconciled: "My lord, my younger brother will not do such things as stealing. You have to be careful, and you can't wrong my younger brother."

Aunt Lin sneered: "If you say it's not, then it's not. This gambler's eyes are red, who knows what he will do."

"Whether it is true or not, we will find out." The leading official scolded: "Get out of the way, if you don't let me out, I will arrest you and go back to the county government."

When Tao Erde heard what the officer said, he couldn't stand up immediately. This is not bad, if Mrs. Li is arrested and sent to the county government office, wouldn't it affect the future of his eldest son?
So, Tao Erde hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, don't influence the officials, come back quickly."

Li Shi had no choice but to take two steps back, feeling annoyed at the same time, why did he tell all about his younger brother?She was worried, she was worried about Li Gao, and at the same time, she was afraid that Tao Qian would settle accounts with her.

Tao Changtian sent off the three officials, dispersed the surrounding villagers, and returned to Qianlian's courtyard.

Aunt Lin knew that Tao Changtian was going to deal with the housework of the old Tao family, and it was inconvenient for her to be there, so she comforted Duan and left with Lin Ruyu.
